Bench #12 has been assembled for the Springfield Conservation Committee. The Springfield Vermont Rotary Club collected 372 pounds of plastic film towards our goal of 1000 pounds of plastic film for the thirteenth recycled bench that will be given to Springfield Parks & Recreation.To date, 10,518 pounds of plastic film (over 5.25 tons!) have been removed from the waste stream since we started this project in February of 2023, delivered to Shaw’s Supermarket, and heading to Trex Company for recycling. Please continue to bring your plastic film to the Springfield Town Library. NOTE: We need volunteers to help sort the plastic at the Library. For more info, contact Alan.
